    Thanks, Carol - you too!

    I realised after I posted this that there really wasn't much in the way of 'Friday Fun' - so take your pick of wine, beer, tequila or lovely sparkling cranberry, and have a fab weekend!

    Ooooh you've got an awesome list there! I didn't know we could donate books we liked - I thought it was a donate-the-book-you-wrote kind of thing! Silly me. Is it too late to donate?

    Next week is going to be great!

    I'll be tweeting and facebooking you next week, Sweetie. I also have some books by Kate Douglas I could donate. From her Wolf Tales series. I've been so sick I haven't been able to talk to you about the books I have which I can donate. If you still need some you have my email.

    I'll lift a cuppa hot toddy in your honor tonight, lolol!

    Wow that is really impressive. The list is ended, I was suprised.

    I'm especially glad that your book is one of them. Who knows, someone might be lucky, or just have to buy it.

    I guess if you're busy all next week, you won't have much time for my first blogfest starting on Sunday.
